These days, a
lamp needs to be more than just a lighting instrument, and while the 8AM task lamp doesn't sport integrated
speakers, an
FM radio, or
solar panels, it does go a long way in cleaning up clutter and reaching hard-to-light areas. Constructed from braided electric wire and an aluminum clamping system, this design-centric light allows users to create their own
lighting scenario by bending and folding the post, and the rigid structure enables some fairly eye-catching poses to be struck. Furthermore, the device brightens your day more and more each time you touch the clamp, but we're sure a clap-sensitive setup could be installed if that's your thing. Apparently, this creation is still in the prototype stage, but the commercial appeal on this one is pretty glaring.

I'm not sure what's special about this lamp at all... Is it because there's a computer in the photo? They've had touch-dimming on the market for years and years.
I'm in lighting, and people look at my fixtures as a much better way to light difficult areas (Warning: video link):

Yeah... I wasn't aware that gooseneck lamps with screw clamp bases were now considered "artsy" and "design-centric". I do like the design simply for the fact that it doesn't take up space on the desktop and would be somewhat difficult to knock off the desk with an errant elbow. But, considering that it's already being hyped as a "designer" type fixture, I'm sure it will be far out of my price-range. Guess I'll just build one myself.
I believe what they're getting at is the flexibility of the lamp. It resembles a snake light but with a nice "touch" of design added for good measures. I hope it comes with a shade though. That could get annoying after 15 min or so.
Nice link Ladderless. Hope you've got the patent on that. Smart thinkin!!
Thanks Chris! Yes, we have about 15 patents either issued or pending in the US and 12 other countries. It's part of our overall product lines: www.accessmount.com
I'm surprised it's not recycled from used soda cans. It looks too hippie to me...
I don't get it. For one, there is nothing to shade the light from shining directly into your eyes.
For two, it makes use of a soon to be banned environmentally unfriendly heat bulb.
now HERE is a business i need to get into. how much are they charging?
